4.            Execution and Delivery. The New Issuer agrees that the Notes of each series shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of any endorsement of the New Issuer on the Notes of each series, and each New Guarantor agrees that its Note Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Note Guarantee.

 

5.            Release of Obligations. Upon execution of this Supplemental Indenture by the New Issuer, the New Guarantors and the Trustee, the Escrow Issuers shall be unconditionally and irrevocably released and discharged from all obligations and liabilities under the Indenture and the Notes of each series (other than those obligations and liabilities applicable to the Escrow Issuers as a Subsidiary Guarantor as described in Section 2(b) above).

 

6.            Ratification of Indenture; Supplemental Indentures Part of Indenture. Except as expressly amended hereby, the Indenture is in all respects ratified and confirmed and all the terms, conditions and provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect. This Supplemental Indenture shall form a part of the Indenture for all purposes, and every holder of Notes of each applicable series heretofore or hereafter authenticated and delivered shall be bound hereby.

Each holder of Notes of each applicable series by accepting a Note of any series waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes of each applicable series. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

 

8.            Governing Law. THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

9.            Trustee Makes No Representation. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture.
